[QUOTE="grnvlmike, post: 1006925, member: 140022"] This issue should not show up on an external (meaning an external would work fine) and sometimes can be fixed by "re-seating" the ribbon cable that runs from the logic board to the display. This requires taking the thing apart, but could save you some money. I know of a repair shop that would "repair" these... most of the time (but not all) it ended up being a ribbon cable issue. They become warn, unseated, dirty connection etc... Its worth a try first before spending any money. [/QUOTE]
